4If your vehicle is equipped with a sunroof,
you can slide or tilt your sunroof with the
sunroof control lever located on the over-
head console (1).
The sunroof can only be opened, closed,
or tilted when the ignition switch is in the
ON position.
✽ ✽
NOTICE• In cold and wet climates, the sunroof
may not work properly due to freez-
ing conditions.
• After a vehicle is washed or in a rain- storm be sure to wipe off any water
that is on the sunroof before operating
it.
✽ ✽ NOTICEThe sunroof cannot tilt when it is in the
slide position but can be slid while in a
tilt position.
PANORAMIC SUNROOF (IF EQUIPPED)
OXM049027
CAUTION
Do not continue to pull or push the
sunroof control lever after the sun-roof is fully opened, closed, or tilted.Damage to the motor or systemcomponents could occur.
WARNING
 Never adjust the sunroof or roller blind while driving. This could
result in loss of control and an
accident that may cause death,
serious injury, or property dam-
age.
 If you would like to carry items on the roof rack using a cross bar,
do not operate the sunroof.
 When carrying cargo on the roof rack, do not load heavy items
above the sunroof or glass roof.
 All occupants of the vehicle must wear their seat belts at all times.
Seat belts and child restraints
reduce serious or fatal injuries
for all occupants in the event of a
collision or sudden stop.

❈ ❈

2nd row outlet vents (E)
 The air flow of the 2nd row outlet vents is controlled by the front climate control
system and delivered through the
inside air duct of the front doors. If the
door is open or not closed completely,
the air flow of the 2nd row outlet vent is
not delivered properly. Make sure the
front doors are closed completely.  The air flow of the 2nd row outlet vents
may be weaker than the instrument
panel vents because of the long air
duct in the front doors.
 Close the air vents in cold weather. The air flow of the 2nd row outlet vents may
cool a little during heating operation.
(Use the 2nd row outlet vents during
cooling operation.)
